Not easy for a father to bear.
Held in the arms of his lover, his beautiful life passed away.
I must be getting old. I was going to post the previous sentences as my facebook status and allow an outpouring of sympathy before explaining them. But old age and common sense have got the better of my instinctive mischief.
It was emotional, though, watching Jed, my youngest son, in his death scene in Rent. And to an old fashioned hetero, it was also tough watching him as a blonde bewigged transvestite snogging another bloke. All intellectualizing aside, it tested my broadmindedness.
Jed was, of course, brilliant, as was everyone else in the fantastic Nue Music Theatre cast - a stageful of young talent.
Anyway, here they are, at a recent music festival, performing one of the numbers from the show. Jed is in the centre, and a soloist.
Alive, fortunately.
Love you Papi!
